Just got back from the Final Four. Heartbreaking loss. :(

Have I missed anything cool in the last couple days?

Uhh yea. GAF customs last night was really fun.

Yeah, the only person I remember from the older days was TJ. I'm going to be dedicating mu Xbox to halo 2 play until its demise.
 
Today I decided to give Halo 3 another go, and in the two rounds that I played, my kill/death ratio was like 15-1 or 2. :lol After playing Bad Company a lot, it sure feels good to feel like a god again, can't wait for reach. <3

It is my understanding that dual wielding is gone in reach, is that confirmed? Because that would be excellent news.

In the Halo 2 days I think it was: TJ Scoot, TJ Trasher, TJ Bennett and TJ Duderon. Nutter was like NutterButter or something femme, Ramirez was thug life'n it up as DaAnswer3

Dude NutterButter was totally original back then ;p

But my Main Gamertag during Halo 2 was something you came up with, NutterIsAFK.

Speaking of old gamer tags, I wonder how many tags will be free now that accounts that haven't upgraded to 360 will be deleted...I wonder how quickly John 117.

This "Team Throwback" playlist is pretty rad.

Most definitely. It's such a shame that more people didn't flock to Team Throwback.. :(

Yes, confirmed. And SMGs are out since 1 SMG sucks.

Wait, has this been confirmed? Will be a rush to snag the rare ones :lol

I also wanted to ask, how is the last game of Halo 2 going to be determined, the last one started or the last one to end? If its the laast one started having long epic customs on the last night would suck. If its the last one to end lets have a flag game on the biggest map! :lol

When do the servers go down aswell, the morning of the 15th? or the evening of the 15th?

I think it's gonna be the last Matchmade game, not last game online.

Here, just search what gamertag you want to search for, if it has to orginal xbox logo as the picture it will go down.
 
I dunno guys, I think it's fun coming up with tags nobody has come up with. "BetterAtConduit" obviously wasn't taken, since Conduit came out within the last couple years, but I've come up with a bunch of 2-3 word names I'm sure nobody has thought of.

Eh, good luck I guess.

Thanks for the link.

Dammit, "Aeschylus" is a 360 tag. Oh well, I already have some original tags selected for the steal.
I won't tell anyone which one I'm particularly hoping for, because its a MEGATON!
I hope I succeed.

Anyone going to play Halo 2 before the endgame customs?

Edit: I now have two bombshell gamertags lined up. :D

Make it double exp for one weekend. You introduce many people to the playlist by dangling the carrot that is e-penis in front of their face.

Kind of like a drug dealer.
Needs more Team Control and Grifball. srs

The gamertag thing isnt 100% confirmed, but arnt all those GT's still technically on the original Live service and not the 360? I will search for conformation though because im pretty sure this is happening.

Edit: apparently quite a few people called xbox support and they confirmed this, for once I hope support is right.
 
Who the hell is this jerk?

I have also lost my copy of Halo 2. I never had the joy of playing it online but my god the hours of system link hehe. I would feel rather guilty for having whatever special emblem in Reach if I managed to get on it before he 15th.

My ISP are an odd bunch. Some nights around midnight my internet just goes down the tubes. The problem isn't on my end as there were mentions of DNS servers and matrices on all my error reports.

So, before my internet died momentrily, I checked to see what Dani and Bladed were doing. Very oddly, both had the same weird occurence. On the 'Score To Win' section of the party details was the number -32768. Dani was in Social Big Team about to play a CTF Match or something and Bladed was in MLG :p Any ideas?

EDIT: Not cool
